The Lead Forward Luminary series is co-sponsored by the Institute for a Sustainable Future, the John Martinson Honors College, and Computer Graphics Technology in the Polytechnic. The series provides a space for social impact leaders of all kinds to share their unique approaches to making meaningful change in the world.

Join us for a conversation with Stephanie Barish, founder and CEO of IndieCade. Named one of the top-10 most powerful women in gaming by CNN, Barish is responsible for the popular Climate Jam series, a video gaming festival focused on climate change and climate solutions. Barish will explore the capacity of video games to help us reimagine the relationship between people and the environment. She will also discuss the importance of independent gaming, and the Climate Jam series in particular, for promoting diverse voices and fostering international connections within the discourse on climate change. RSVP here. Reception to follow!
